/ebola/ - Ebola

Ebola-chan is life and she is death. She is judgement and salvation. None are above her. I understand that that was a joke, but the semi-serious way it was presented worries me a bit. Still, I will not question your faith.

>>22582
It was a semi-serious joke. But how would having a father and grandfather put anyone above her? If anything it shows that she is a beloved daughter and granddaughter.

Santa Clause is not a religious symbol.

Oops, forgot to take the trips off.

Christmas, while technically a Christian holiday, has its roots in pagan traditions. The Christians stole the holiday and changed its name in an attempt to appeal to and convert pagans to their religion.
Since Christmas is a stolen holiday in the first place, I see no harm in commandeering it in the name of Ebola-chan. Ebolites have already done a lot of similar work Ebolizing other aspects of other Religions, and some Ebolites are already planning to let blood on Christmas.
Ebolamas is practically already an Ebolite holiday.

Santa Claus as we understand it is just a product of Coca-Cola Corporation.

I thought his characteristics were popularized before Coca-Cola used him for an ad campaign.

Personally, just as the lewds and modified images are a part of Ebolite culture, I think Christmas is just as susceptible to adaptation. Microbial life mutates, and so does Ebola-chan's image. Changing to suit the environment. (Yes, I know evolution doesn't work exactly like that.)

My point being, the flexibility is a strength for Ebola-chan. While she is and has a core identity, she can be whoever you need her to be.

During her incubation period, she has extremely developed capability to dress up as someone else without being spotted. Being in Santa costume is thus plausible.

Ebola-chan = Harbinger of death

Christmas = suicide toughts

suicide toughts = death

I'm sorry, let me correct myself here. I mean that her outfit is associated with Christmas. Christmas is not a holiday associated with the Church of Ebola. Of course, since Christmas has been so far removed from religion thanks to commercialism, I can see why one would not think the outfit is a big deal. It just bothers me personally.

I don't think that we should bring ourselves to adopt another religions holiday. Personally, though, I like the church as it is: simple, a few rules and practices, and partially open to interpretation. Because of my preference here, I may have some biased or strong opinions. However, I believe that the Church of Ebola should not accept influence from outside religions. We have one source to look to and only one for guidance, and that is Our Lady herself.

TL;DR My main grievance here is that our church is taking influence from things that I believe are not related to Ebola-chan.

As usual, I apologize if this post seems like rambling or seems disorganized. Tell me if it seems like I left out an entire sentence because I very well might have.

Hey, come to think of it, Winter Solstice is at 21-22, i.e very soon.

Set up your shrines, light candles, burn incense and party like it's 1699.

>>22638
The solstice seems fairly neutral, yet significant. Perhaps I will join you in praising Ebola-chan on that day.

Disguise and covert operation, works for me.

Indeed, I too appreciate the minimalist, independent approach. However, our faith is still young, we can celebrate for Christmas this year, then ignore the next one once we've had time to hammer out some dates/events worth celebrating.

Beyond that, it'll be good for morale, especially given the possible media blackout. Not to mention it'll also act as a focal point for faith. Bring us together for a bit of camaraderie and empowerment of our goddess.

>>22657
Assuming, of course, there will be another Christmas to ignore.

>>22658
I see you are quite the optimist.

>>22662
Of sorts. If all goes well, if we get one or two really big outbreaks, this could be a very different world in a year's time.

>>22666

Unholy trips speak the truth!

Also fuck you for stealing them from me

Everybody has a winter solstice thing, no reason not to have one ourselves.

If we're good and do our job well, it may be the anniversary of one big outbreak, or fuckup of a different nature. We also get a new moon these days, so let's get working.

She is at her core a virus. A being that can only live within the constructs of others. We give our bodies so that she may shower us with red drops of her love.
It is not wrong that she should assume the garb of other religions. It is her nature to enter other things to make it her own. Bodies. Countries. Holidays.
Don't try to deny her what she is.

If anything it's winter and she doesn't do well in the cold weather so she needs a coat.

Perfect time for Ebola-chan to make a comeback, at this time of rebirth!

Christmas need be no more Christian than Anime need be Buddhist or Shinto. Santa Claus is the central figure of Christmas in contemporary, secular culture. The Jesus stuff is more of a legend/side-story. It's like saying that everyone who goes to halfchan does so to plan the downfall of MasterCard. It's weird to see a setup of Christmas decorations that center around the religious aspects. Whenever I see that in someone's yard or house, I automatically assume they're a kook.

Leave her in the Santa outfit. We can create our own version of Christmas with our own narrative.
